I'm really just looking for something which will notify us every time there is an error on any of the very many disparate scripts / 'apps' running on a given server. There is no one app although many are built on a framework which has a boot-strap file similar to ZF so a set_error_handler solution, while far from ideal, may cover some bases if there is one? There are possible solutions I can think of such as parsing all the log files perhaps, but none of these are as elegant as what is available to Apache/Perl and IIS/ASP which is suprising to me as PHP usually covers all the bases. I'm hoping I'm just ignorant of that simple solution? I'm also interested in the functionality and interaction of PHP with Apache - I know little of this, but as noted in my original post, there appears on the surface to be some discrepancy about this interaction in terms of logging vs error documents. Perhaps I should be posting some of this in .internals or one of the other groups?
